Dem Bones...

Mahalo to Daniel Costanza at SKATE ONE for the awesome care-package.  Jef Hartsel received his 52mm and I handed-off some 56mm and 58mm SPF's to Bob Lake over this past weekend along with bushings and the Russ Pope shirt.  

Zarosh Eggleston is a Traveler

Zarosh Eggleston, on the Traveler I've been building for friends and family, smith grinding and having fun.  Photo by the one and only, Beau! Mahalo guys!

Below... Zarosh does this and more when he's on his own pro-model by Death Skateboards!

Opening Night Photos with Mark Kushimi

Congratulations to Mark Kushimi on his opening in Honolulu, Hawaii!  Wish I was there...! 

Stereo Skateboards

Thanks to Jeff, Dune and Jason at Stereo for the care-package!  

Check-out Dune's interview below... at 2:20 in the video, our Big Red makes a cameo as part of his quiver.

Mark Kushimi at Human Imagination Feb. 3, 2012

Mark Kushimi has an opening at the Human Imagination in Honolulu, Hawaii featuring photographs of Jef Hartsel (that's Hartsel riding his EZ Ryder Koa complete below) amongst other notables.  Mark was part of our, "A Product Of Design" show in Culver City last September.  If you're in Hawaii, please check out his opening and say, "Hello" to Mark for us in person! You can also see what Mark does on his day-to-day as the Editor-in-Chief over at Contrast Magazine. 

Steve MacDonald, the Ramblin' Worker

Steve MacDonald sent this care-package below, days after my head-snapping concussion.  Steve was the only guy present when it happened and had front-row seats since he was on the top-deck.  Damn pool coping... love it but unforgiving, as it should be!  Thanks to Steve for the ABC ramp print, the all-over quarter-pipe shirt and the sticker/button pack.  I'm almost back, Steve... we'll sesh again soon. Mahalo!

Anthony Masters came by the SA office yesterday with a Steve MacDonald designed tattoo adorned on his forearm.  I saw it before when he first got it but only made the connection when I saw Steve's setup below. I took the photo of Steve's board the day of the smack-down.  Thanks to both guys for allowing me to connect the dots, again... 

Shakas and Alohas

Rod in Hawaii handscreened his own Shakas x Alohas tees and sent one my way.  Very thankful and I'll be wearing this at the next BBQ for sure. Mahalo! 

Cathy Liu's new website!

My friend, Cathy Liu has a new site up that you have to check-out. She's a rad artist!  

Cathy Liu lives in San Francisco and on the Big Island of Hawaii where she’s constantly inspired by the fragility and force of life. She grew up in an area of San Jose where the cherry orchards were replaced by Eichler homes. She left suburbia for Florence, Italy where she graduated with a B.A. in Italian and met her husband, Architect Craig Steely. She worked for muckraking Mother Jones Magazine, but after five years she found painting amoebic shapes preferable to raking muck.

Sean Cliver for Juice Design
